Equipment costs are rising, labor shortages are deepening, and sustainability rules are tightening. In 2026, landscaping companies will face greater pressure than ever. Those that keep relying on spreadsheets and fragmented tracking will continue to bleed time, money, and contracts.

This report uncovers how outdated methods are costing landscapers thousands in lost hours and hidden expenses. Blind spots such as undocumented repair requests, poor visibility into service history, and short-term budget planning are holding businesses back from growth.
